Slow Scrolling with latest OS X Binary

[JEFF CARNEAL]

On a related note, I'm finding some weirdness related to selecting  
text from within an account.  I have noted the following:

1.  Double or triple clicking a Description no longer highlights the  
text.

2.  Selecting text can only be done by having the cursor on another  
line and selecting from your starting point of a *different* line.   
IOW, I cannot select from within the same line the cursor is currently  
located.  Also, the selection takes between 1 and 2 seconds when it  
does work.

3.  I cannot move the cursor with the mouse from within a particular  
register entry.  Eg, click the 10th letter of an entry and  
subsequently click the 2nd letter of the same entry to place the  
cursor at that location doesn't work.

Anyone else noticing this?  And yes, I'm aware these are fairly minor  
gripes on what is otherwise a fabulous piece of work.  Nicely done,  
John.
